It&#8217;s a Primitivo, but not as you know it. Cristiano Guttarolo has just 5 hectares of vines, at 400 m altitude, and this remarkable wine is made from a small 0.6 hectare plot of Primitivo that is fermented in 500 litre clay amphorae from Umbria. After fermentation these amphorae are sealed by means of a clay lid that is sealed on with beeswax for around a year. The final assemblage takes place in stainless steel. The result is striking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guttarolo Primitivo &#8216;Amphora&#8217; 2011 Puglia, Italy<br \/>\n<\/strong>13% alcohol. Lifted nose of sour cherries and dried herbs with a lovely floral quality and a hint of sweet volatility. The palate is tangy and has lovely bitter cherries and herbs with some sweetness and a bit of bite on the finish. A wine with tension and detail: not for everyone, it treads the fine line between naturalness and fruitiness just beautifully. A truly great wine. 94\/100<\/p>\n<p>UK agent is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tuttowines.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tutto wines<\/a>.
